Ive been buying QSL cards for many years as I’m now in my 3rd US state since getting my license. I dont think theres such an animal as “the best” qsl company. Some people print their own. Some go with any number of places.
My most recent one is designed on gigiparts. I think it was the Premium QSL cards. It gives you a blank slate and youc can design them exactly like you want, front and back.

You could definitely do some sort of graphic where the two QTH’s are on either half of the card and they kinda fade into each other in the middle.
Sounds like there may be plenty of people around who would be willing to help you out.

I have a friend who owns a print shop.  I’ve been trying to get him into the QSL card business.  I’ve had him print 2 sets of mine and he does a VERY, VERY high quality card at a fair price.  If you know what you want I’m sure their design team can set you up with a great card.  If you want, DM me via email and I’ll set you up with his contact information.



On a personal note, I feel that the card should say something about you, your station, your city, state, or something else you are passionate about.  Give it that WOW factor when the other station opens that envelope.  Also, I applaud you for keeping up that time old tradition of QSL card exchanges when so many have given up the practice. It goes WAY beyond the logbook and speaks volumes above the few minutes spent on the QSO.



My card has a flavor of Texas and the west on the front with a local picture on the back with some town history as I live in a historic town from the 1850’s.

I print my own using a freeware program. QSL MAKER and you can customize with your own pictures, etc.

I need some new QSL cards – and hoping I can get one showing two different QTH’s – what is the best source for QSL cards?
